This issue of The Reverse Review is our fourth since we took over the magazine late last year. It has been rewarding to relaunch this unique publication. Every month, our team gets to work closely with a diverse cross section of industry participants who create the content you and I get to read each issue. The collaboration is refreshing and makes it feel as though we are less like competitors and more like partners in a small niche industry, working together to shed light on a product we are proud of.I strongly believe we need to continue to be proactive as an industry and work hand in hand to further educate the market on this important financial tool for seniors. My commitment to you is that we will continue to work hard to make The Reverse Review a forum for useful and relevant information to
help grow your business and assist in pushing our market forward.
We are fortunate to have Ted Tozer of Ginnie Mae supporting our efforts as an industry. The fact that more investors have realized the benefits of this new liquidity source and have taken an interest in the product has been pivotal. Ginnie Mae’s rollout of the HMBS program has proved to be a big evolutionary step for the
reverse mortgage. We should continue to welcome improvements and changes to the program, as it will only allow more seniors access in the long run. I hope you enjoy reading his prospective on Ginnie Mae’s involvement with the HECM program.
